The eminent political parties of Tamil Nadu have back-lashed at the Center Government for gifting a Coast Guard vessel ‘Varaha’ to the neighboring Country Sri Lanka. They said that the Center is helping the Sri Lankan army which has become troublesome for the Indian fishermen. The former chief minister and party chief Karunanidhi, who is demanding the ship’s recall said that he is opposing this on behalf of DMK.

This issue was first raised by Dr S Ramadoss, the chief of the Pattali Makkal Katchi ( PMK ). He said that the center has always been detrimental in its action to the interest of the state and that the government’s decision to help Sri Lanka cannot be supported and appreciated as the Lankan government has never been loyal to India. He further added that the Lankans previously used this ship to kill the Lankan Tamilians who he said will now set out to kill Indian fishermen.
